Despite the Juddernaut’s massive impact on the baize in recent seasons, the 26-year-old has been held to a close head-to-head record against ‘the Hawk’, with five victories apiece in competitive meetings since 2012.

Although, one of Hawkins’ previous triumphs over Trump came during a Six Red World Championship clash, but he is 13/8 to soar to victory once again, while Robertson’s recent conqueror is 6/1 to successfully come through another final frame shootout to reach the Masters final.

Rocket battles Ball-Run Bingham

Tournament favourite Ronnie O’Sullivan will not be underestimating his final four opponent Stuart Bingham, however, as Ball-Run knocked the Rocket out of the 2015 World Championship en route to Crucible glory when they last met.

Rocket Ronnie remains odds-on 4/11 match favourite, however, because of a brilliant head-to-head record of 11-3 over Bingham, who is not without merit at 9/4 to repeat his Sheffield slaying of O’Sullivan.

While sending Mark Selby out of the Masters was hardly a surprise from the Rocket, Ball-Run beating John Higgins 6-3 in the last quarter-final suggests he will capitalise on any errors.
